+# Bug Fixing Guide for AI Assistants
+
+This document provides guidance for AI assistants to help with bug fixing for the Fix Plugin Does Not Exist Notices plugin.
+
+## Bug Fixing Workflow
+
+### 1. Create a Bug Fix Branch
+
+Always start by creating a bug fix branch from the latest main branch pulled from origin (this step is mandatory):
+
+```bash
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main  # Critical step - never skip this
+git checkout -b fix/bug-description
+```
+
+Use a descriptive name that clearly indicates what bug is being fixed. If there's an issue number, include it in the branch name (e.g., `fix/123-plugin-activation-error`).
+
+For more detailed git workflow guidelines, see **@.ai-workflows/git-workflow.md**.
+
+### 2. Understand the Bug
+
+Before fixing a bug, make sure you understand:
+
+- What is the expected behavior?
+- What is the actual behavior?
+- What are the steps to reproduce the bug?
+- What is the impact of the bug?
+- What is the root cause of the bug?
+
+### 3. Fix the Bug
+
+When fixing a bug:
+
+- Make minimal changes necessary to fix the bug
+- Avoid introducing new features while fixing bugs
+- Maintain backward compatibility
+- Add appropriate comments explaining the fix
+- Consider adding tests to prevent regression
+
+### 4. Update Documentation
+
+Update relevant documentation to reflect the bug fix:
+
+- Add a description to CHANGELOG.md under an "Unreleased" section
+- Update readme.txt if the bug fix affects user-facing functionality
+
+### 5. Testing
+
+Test the bug fix thoroughly:
+
+- Verify that the bug is fixed
+- Ensure no regression in related functionality
+- Test with the latest WordPress version
+- Test with the minimum supported WordPress version (5.0)
+- Test with PHP 7.0+ (minimum supported version)
+
+### 6. Commit Changes
+
+Make atomic commits with clear messages:
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Fix #123: Brief description of the bug fix"
+```
+
+If there's an issue number, reference it in the commit message.
+
+### 7. Prepare for Release
+
+When the bug fix is ready to be released:
+
+1. Create a version branch for the release:
+
+```bash
+git checkout -b v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
+```
+
+2. Merge your bug fix branch into the version branch:
+
+```bash
+git merge fix/bug-description --no-ff
+```
+
+3. Update version numbers and changelog entries
+
+4. Follow the standard release process from this point
+
+### 8. Push to Remote (Optional for Collaboration)
+
+If you need to collaborate with others on the bug fix before it's ready for release:
+
+```bash
+git push github HEAD:fix/bug-description
+git push gitea HEAD:fix/bug-description
+```
+
+### 9. Create Pull Request (Optional)
+
+If the repository uses pull requests for code review, create a pull request from the bug fix branch to the version branch.
+
+## Determining Version Increment
+
+After fixing a bug and confirming it works, determine the appropriate version increment:
+
+- **PATCH** (e.g., 1.6.0 → 1.6.1): For most bug fixes that don't change functionality
+- **MINOR** (e.g., 1.6.0 → 1.7.0): For bug fixes that introduce new features or significant changes
+- **MAJOR** (e.g., 1.6.0 → 2.0.0): For bug fixes that introduce breaking changes
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Don't update version numbers during initial development and testing. Only create a version branch (e.g., `v2.2.3`) and update version numbers when the fix is confirmed working.
+
+This approach is more time-efficient as it allows you to focus on fixing the bug without worrying about version updates until the fix is confirmed working.
+
+For detailed guidelines on time-efficient development and testing, see **@.ai-workflows/incremental-development.md**.
+
+## Testing Previous Versions
+
+To test a previous version of the plugin:
+
+```bash
+# Checkout a specific tag for testing
+git checkout v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
+
+# Or create a test branch from a specific tag
+git checkout v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} -b test/some-feature
+```
+
+## Hotfix Process
+
+For critical bugs that need immediate fixing in a released version:
+
+### 1. Create a Hotfix Branch
+
+```bash
+git checkout v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
+git checkout -b hotfix/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}
+```
+
+### 2. Fix the Issues
+
+Apply the minimal fix necessary to address the critical issue.
+
+### 3. Update Version Numbers
+
+Increment the PATCH version and update all version numbers:
+
+- Main plugin file (fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php)
+- FPDEN_VERSION constant
+- CHANGELOG.md
+- readme.txt
+- README.md
+- languages/fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.pot (Project-Id-Version)
+
+### 4. Commit and Push
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Hotfix: Brief description of the critical bug fix"
+git push github HEAD:hotfix/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}
+git push gitea HEAD:hotfix/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}
+```
+
+### 5. Create and Push Tag
+
+```bash
+git tag -a v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1} -m "Hotfix release version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}"
+git push github refs/tags/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}
+git push gitea refs/tags/v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH+1}
+```
+
+## Common Bug Types and Fixing Strategies
+
+### WordPress Compatibility Issues
+
+- Test with the specific WordPress version where the issue occurs
+- Check for deprecated functions or hooks
+- Review WordPress changelog for relevant changes
+
+### PHP Compatibility Issues
+
+- Test with the specific PHP version where the issue occurs
+- Check for deprecated PHP functions or features

+### 1. Understand the Context
+
+Before reviewing code, understand:
+- What problem is the code trying to solve?
+- What are the requirements?
+- What are the constraints?
+
+### 2. Review the Code
+
+Review the code with the checklist above in mind.
+
+### 3. Provide Feedback
+
+When providing feedback:
+- Be specific and clear
+- Explain why a change is needed
+- Provide examples or suggestions when possible
+- Prioritize feedback (critical issues vs. minor improvements)
+- Be constructive and respectful
+
+### 4. Follow Up
+
+After the code has been updated:
+- Review the changes
+- Verify that issues have been addressed
+- Provide additional feedback if necessary
+
+## Common Issues to Look For
+
+### PHP Issues
+
+- Undefined variables or functions
+- Incorrect function parameters
+- Missing return statements
+- Improper error handling
+- Inefficient loops or conditionals
+- Hardcoded values that should be configurable
+
+### WordPress-Specific Issues
+
+- Incorrect hook usage
+- Missing or incorrect nonces
+- Missing capability checks
+- Direct database queries instead of using WordPress functions
+- Improper enqueuing of scripts and styles
+- Not using WordPress functions for common tasks
+
+### JavaScript Issues
+
+- Undefined variables or functions
+- Event listener memory leaks
+- jQuery conflicts
+- Browser compatibility issues
+- Missing error handling
+
+### CSS Issues
+
+- Browser compatibility issues
+- Specificity issues
+- Unused styles
+- Overriding WordPress admin styles inappropriately
+
+## Example Feedback
+
+### Good Feedback Example
+
+```
+In function `handle_remove_reference()`:
+
+1. The nonce check is missing, which could lead to CSRF vulnerabilities. 
+   Consider adding:
+   ```php
+   if (!isset($_GET['_wpnonce']) || !wp_verify_nonce($_GET['_wpnonce'], 'fpden_remove_reference')) {
+       wp_die(__('Security check failed.', 'fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices'));
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. The user capability check should be more specific. Instead of:
+   ```php
+   if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
+   ```
+   Consider using:
+   ```php
+   if (!current_user_can('activate_plugins')) {
+   ```
+   This is more appropriate for the action being performed.
+
+3. The success message should be translatable:
+   ```php
+   // Change this:
+   add_settings_error('fpden', 'fpden_removed', 'Plugin reference removed successfully.', 'updated');
+   
+   // To this:
+   add_settings_error('fpden', 'fpden_removed', __('Plugin reference removed successfully.', 'fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices'), 'updated');
+   ```
+```
+
+### Poor Feedback Example
+
+```
+This code has security issues and doesn't follow best practices. Fix it.

+# Feature Development Guide for AI Assistants
+
+This document provides guidance for AI assistants to help with feature development for the Fix Plugin Does Not Exist Notices plugin.
+
+## Feature Development Workflow
+
+### 1. Create a Feature Branch
+
+Always start by creating a feature branch from the latest main branch pulled from origin (this step is mandatory):
+
+```bash
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main  # Critical step - never skip this
+git checkout -b feature/descriptive-name
+```
+
+Use a descriptive name that clearly indicates what the feature is about. If there's an issue number, include it in the branch name (e.g., `feature/123-update-source-selector`).
+
+For more detailed git workflow guidelines, see **@.ai-workflows/git-workflow.md**.
+
+### 2. Implement the Feature
+
+When implementing a new feature:
+
+- Follow WordPress coding standards
+- Ensure all strings are translatable
+- Add appropriate comments
+- Consider performance implications
+- Maintain backward compatibility
+- Review reference plugins in the `reference-plugins/` directory for inspiration and best practices
+
+### 3. Update Documentation
+
+Update relevant documentation to reflect the new feature:
+
+- Add a description to CHANGELOG.md under an "Unreleased" section
+- Update readme.txt if the feature affects user-facing functionality
+- Update README.md with the new feature description
+- Update inline documentation/comments
+- Update wiki documentation in the `.wiki` directory:
+  - Create or update feature-specific pages
+  - Update the Home.md page if necessary
+  - Add the feature to any relevant existing pages
+  - Add screenshots or examples if applicable
+- Remember that any feature addition will require a version increment in all relevant files
+
+For detailed guidelines on maintaining wiki documentation, see **@.ai-workflows/wiki-documentation.md**.
+
+### 4. Testing
+
+Test the feature thoroughly:
+
+- Test with the latest WordPress version
+- Test with the minimum supported WordPress version (5.0)
+- Test with PHP 7.0+ (minimum supported version)
+- Test in different environments (if possible)
+
+### 5. Commit Changes
+
+Make atomic commits with clear messages:
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Add feature: descriptive name"
+```
+
+### 6. Prepare for Release
+
+When the feature is ready to be released:
+
+1. Create a version branch with the appropriate version number (typically increment the minor version for features):
+
+```bash
+# Example: from 2.2.0 to 2.3.0
+git checkout -b v{MAJOR}.{MINOR+1}.0
+```
+
+2. Now update version numbers in all required files:
+
+- Main plugin file (wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php)
+- CHANGELOG.md (add a new version section)
+- readme.txt
+- README.md
+- languages/wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.pot (Project-Id-Version)
+
+3. Commit the version updates:
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Version {MAJOR}.{MINOR+1}.0 - [brief description]"
+```
+
+4. Tag the version as stable:
+
+```bash
+git tag -a v{MAJOR}.{MINOR+1}.0-stable -m "Stable version {MAJOR}.{MINOR+1}.0"
+```
+
+5. Follow the standard release process from this point
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Don't update version numbers during initial development and testing. Only create a version branch and update version numbers when the feature is confirmed working.
+
+For detailed guidelines on time-efficient development and testing, see **@.ai-workflows/incremental-development.md**.
+
+### 7. Push to Remote (Optional for Collaboration)
+
+If you need to collaborate with others on the feature before it's ready for release:
+
+```bash
+git push github HEAD:feature/descriptive-name
+git push gitea HEAD:feature/descriptive-name
+```
+
+### 8. Create Pull Request (Optional)
+
+If the repository uses pull requests for code review, create a pull request from the feature branch to the version branch.
+
+## Code Standards and Best Practices
+
+### PHP Coding Standards
+
+- Follow [WordPress PHP Coding Standards](https://developer.wordpress.org/coding-standards/wordpress-coding-standards/php/)
+- Use tabs for indentation, not spaces
+- Use proper naming conventions:
+  - Class names: `Class_Name`
+  - Function names: `function_name`
+  - Variable names: `$variable_name`
+
+### JavaScript Coding Standards
+
+- Follow [WordPress JavaScript Coding Standards](https://developer.wordpress.org/coding-standards/wordpress-coding-standards/javascript/)
+- Use tabs for indentation, not spaces
+- Use proper naming conventions:
+  - Function names: `functionName`
+  - Variable names: `variableName`
+
+### Internationalization (i18n)
+
+- Wrap all user-facing strings in appropriate translation functions:
+  - `__()` for simple strings
+  - `_e()` for echoed strings
+  - `esc_html__()` for escaped strings
+  - `esc_html_e()` for escaped and echoed strings
+- Always use the plugin's text domain: `fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices`
+
+### Security Best Practices
+
+- Validate and sanitize all input
+- Escape all output
+- Use nonces for form submissions
+- Use capability checks for user actions
+
+## Working in Multi-Repository Workspaces
+
+When developing features in a workspace with multiple repositories:
+
+1. **Verify Repository Context**:
+   - Confirm you're working in the correct repository before suggesting or implementing features
+   - Use `pwd` and `git remote -v` to verify the current repository
+
+2. **Feature Verification**:
+   - Before implementing a feature, verify it doesn't already exist in the current repository
+   - Don't assume features from other repositories should be implemented in this one
+   - Use `codebase-retrieval` to search for existing functionality
+
+3. **Repository-Specific Implementation**:
+   - Implement features appropriate for this specific plugin's purpose
+   - Maintain consistency with the current repository's architecture and coding style
+   - Don't copy code directly from other repositories without adaptation
+
+4. **Cross-Repository Inspiration**:
+   - If implementing a feature inspired by another repository, explicitly note that it's a new feature
+   - Adapt the feature to fit the current repository's needs and architecture
+   - Document the inspiration source in code comments
+
+For detailed guidelines on working in multi-repository workspaces, see **@.ai-workflows/multi-repo-workspace.md**.
+
+## Feature Types and Implementation Guidelines
+
+### Admin Interface Features
+
+When adding features to the admin interface:
+
+- Use WordPress admin UI components for consistency
+- Follow WordPress admin UI patterns
+- Ensure accessibility compliance
+- Add appropriate help text
+
+### Plugin Functionality Features
+
+When adding core functionality:
+
+- Ensure compatibility with WordPress hooks system
+- Consider performance impact
+- Maintain backward compatibility
+- Add appropriate error handling
+
+### Integration Features
+
+When adding integration with other plugins or services:
+
+- Make integrations optional when possible
+- Check if the integrated plugin/service is available before using it
+- Provide fallback functionality when the integration is not available
+- Document the integration requirements

+# Git Workflow Guide for AI Assistants
+
+This document provides guidance for AI assistants to help with git workflow management for the Fix Plugin Does Not Exist Notices plugin.
+
+## Core Git Workflow Principles
+
+### 1. Always Start from Latest Main Branch
+
+Before creating any new branch, always ensure you're working with the latest code from the main branch by pulling from the origin:
+
+```bash
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main
+```
+
+This critical step ensures that your new branch includes all the latest changes from the remote repository and reduces the chance of merge conflicts later. Never skip this step, as working from an outdated main branch can lead to integration problems.
+
+### 2. One Issue Per Branch
+
+Create a separate branch for each issue or feature you're working on:
+
+- For bug fixes: `fix/issue-description` or `fix/issue-number-description`
+- For features: `feature/descriptive-name`
+- For small improvements: `patch/descriptive-name`
+- For code restructuring: `refactor/descriptive-name`
+
+**Important**: Use descriptive names without version numbers for development branches. This allows focusing on the changes without worrying about version updates until the changes are confirmed working.
+
+Only create version branches (e.g., `v2.2.3`) when changes are ready for release, and only then update version numbers in files.
+
+This approach keeps changes focused, makes code review easier, and provides clear rollback points if needed.
+
+### 3. Pull Request for Each Issue
+
+Create a separate pull request for each issue or feature. This ensures:
+
+- Each change can be reviewed independently
+- Issues can be merged as soon as they're ready
+- Changes can be reverted individually if needed
+- CI/CD checks can run on focused changes
+
+## Detailed Workflow
+
+### Starting a New Task
+
+1. **Update Main Branch from Origin**
+   ```bash
+   git checkout main
+   git pull origin main
+   ```
+
+   This step is mandatory before creating any new branch to ensure you're working with the latest code.
+
+2. **Create a New Branch**
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b [branch-type]/[description]
+   ```
+
+   Examples:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b fix/123-plugin-activation-error
+   git checkout -b feature/update-source-selector
+   git checkout -b patch/2.2.1
+   ```
+
+3. **Make Your Changes**
+   - Make focused changes related only to the specific issue
+   - Commit regularly with clear, descriptive messages
+   - Reference issue numbers in commit messages when applicable
+
+4. **Testing Approach**
+
+   For efficient development:
+   - **Local Testing (Default)**: Test without updating version numbers
+     ```bash
+     # Get current version from plugin file
+     CURRENT_VERSION=$(grep -o "Version: [0-9.]*" wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php | cut -d' ' -f2)
+
+     # Build and deploy with current version
+     ./build.sh $CURRENT_VERSION
+     ```
+   - **Remote Testing (When Requested)**: Push development branch to remote
+     ```bash
+     git add .
+     git commit -m "[Brief description] for remote testing"
+     git push origin [branch-name]
+     ```
+   - **Version Creation**: Only when changes are confirmed working
+     ```bash
+     # Create version branch
+     git checkout -b v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
+
+     # Update version numbers in all required files
+     # Commit version updates
+     git add .
+     git commit -m "Version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} - Brief description"
+
+     # Tag as stable
+     git tag -a v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}-stable -m "Stable version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}"
+     ```
+
+5. **Push Branch to Remote (When Needed)**
+   ```bash
+   git push origin [branch-name]
+   ```
+
+### Creating a Pull Request
+
+1. **Ensure Tests Pass Locally**
+   - Run any available tests to ensure your changes work as expected
+   - Fix any issues before creating a pull request
+
+2. **Create Pull Request**
+   - Create a pull request from your branch to the main branch
+   - Include a clear description of the changes
+   - Reference any related issues
+   - Assign reviewers if appropriate
+
+3. **Address Review Feedback**
+   - Make requested changes
+   - Push additional commits to the same branch
+   - Respond to comments
+
+### CI/CD Integration
+
+Each pull request should pass through CI/CD checks before being merged. This ensures that all changes are compatible with the existing codebase and meet quality standards.
+
+1. **Automated Tests**
+   - Unit tests
+   - Integration tests
+   - Code style checks
+   - Compatibility checks
+
+2. **Manual Review**
+   - Code review by team members
+   - Functional testing in test environment
+   - Verification of feature requirements
+
+3. **Approval Process**
+   - Required approvals before merging
+   - Final checks for conflicts with other pending PRs
+   - Verification that all CI/CD checks have passed
+
+4. **Compatibility with Unmerged PRs**
+   - When multiple PRs are in progress simultaneously, ensure each PR is compatible with the main branch
+   - For related changes, consider using feature flags to allow independent merging
+   - Document dependencies between PRs in the PR description
+
+### Handling Concurrent Development
+
+When working on multiple issues simultaneously:
+
+1. **Keep Branches Independent**
+   - Always create new branches from the latest main branch pulled from origin, not from other feature branches
+   - This ensures each PR can be merged independently and contains all the latest changes
+
+2. **Handle Conflicts Proactively**
+   - If main has been updated with other changes while you're working:
+     ```bash
+     git checkout main
+     git pull origin main
+     git checkout your-branch
+     git merge main
+     ```
+   - Resolve any conflicts locally before pushing
+
+3. **Coordinate on Dependent Changes**
+   - If changes depend on each other, note this in the PR description
+   - Consider using the "Depends on #PR-number" notation in PR descriptions
+
+## Release Process
+
+When preparing for a release:
+
+1. **Ensure All Required PRs are Merged**
+   - All features and fixes planned for the release should be merged to main
+
+2. **Create a Release Branch**
+   ```bash
+   git checkout main
+   git pull origin main
+   git checkout -b v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
+   ```
+
+3. **Follow Standard Release Process**
+   - Update version numbers
+   - Update changelogs
+   - Create tag
+   - See **@.ai-workflows/release-process.md** for complete details
+
+## Contributing to External Repositories
+
+When working on issues for external repositories (pull/merge requests):
+
+### 1. Clearly Indicate Testing Status
+
+In the PR description and comments, clearly indicate the testing status:
+
+- **Not tested**: "This PR addresses [issue] but has not been tested locally or remotely. It's ready for community/maintainer testing."
+- **Locally tested**: "This PR has been tested in a local WordPress environment and [describe results]."
+- **Remotely tested**: "This PR has been tested with a remote build and [describe results]."
+
+### 2. Provide Testing Instructions
+
+Include clear instructions for maintainers on how to test the changes:
+
+- Steps to reproduce the original issue (if applicable)
+- Steps to verify the fix or feature
+- Any specific environments or configurations needed for testing
+
+### 3. Be Responsive to Feedback
+
+Monitor the PR for feedback from maintainers and be prepared to make additional changes if requested.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Commit Messages
+
+- Use present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
+- Start with a verb
+- Keep the first line under 50 characters
+- Reference issues when relevant: "Fix #123: Resolve plugin detection issue"
+- For more complex changes, add a detailed description after the first line
+
+### Branch Management
+
+- Delete branches after they've been merged
+- Keep branch names descriptive but concise
+- Use consistent naming conventions
+
+### Code Review
+
+- Review code thoroughly before approving
+- Test changes locally when possible
+- Provide constructive feedback
+- See **@.ai-workflows/code-review.md** for detailed code review guidelines
+
+### Suggested Improvements
+
+If you identify potential improvements outside the scope of the current issue:
+
+1. **Document the Suggestion**
+   - Note the suggestion in the PR comments
+   - Create a new issue for the suggestion
+   - Be specific about the benefits and implementation details
+
+2. **Create a Separate Branch**
+   - Don't include unrelated improvements in the current PR
+   - Create a new branch from the latest main branch for the suggested improvement
+   - Submit a separate PR for the suggestion
+
+3. **Ensure Compatibility**
+   - Make sure the suggested improvement is compatible with any unmerged PRs
+   - If the improvement depends on changes in another PR, note this dependency
+   - Consider how the improvement will interact with other pending changes

+# Incremental Development and Testing Guide
+
+This document provides guidance for AI assistants to help with incremental development and testing for the Fix Plugin Does Not Exist Notices plugin.
+
+## Time-Efficient Development Principles
+
+### Branch Naming for Development
+
+1. **Initial Development Branches**
+   - Use descriptive names without version numbers:
+     - `fix/issue-description` - For bug fixes
+     - `feature/descriptive-name` - For new features
+     - `patch/descriptive-name` - For small improvements
+     - `refactor/descriptive-name` - For code restructuring
+   - **Don't update version numbers** during this phase
+   - Focus on implementing and testing the changes
+
+2. **Version Branches**
+   - Only create after changes are confirmed working:
+     - `v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}` (e.g., `v2.2.3`)
+   - Only update version numbers at this point
+   - This minimizes unnecessary version updates
+
+### Version Numbering Guidelines
+
+1. **Patch Versions (X.Y.Z → X.Y.Z+1)**
+   - Use for bug fixes and small improvements
+   - Example: `v2.2.3`
+
+2. **Minor Versions (X.Y.Z → X.Y+1.0)**
+   - Use for new features or significant improvements
+   - Example: `v2.3.0`
+
+3. **Major Versions (X.Y.Z → X+1.0.0)**
+   - Only increment when numerous features and fixes are tested and confirmed stable
+   - Reserved for breaking changes or significant overhauls
+   - Example: `v3.0.0`
+
+### Marking Stable Versions
+
+When the user confirms that changes are working correctly:
+1. Create a version branch and update version numbers
+2. Tag the version branch as stable
+   ```bash
+   git tag -a v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}-stable -m "Stable version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}"
+   ```
+3. Document in the PR or issue that this version has been confirmed stable
+
+## Local Testing Workflow
+
+### 1. Create a Descriptive Branch for Development
+
+```bash
+# Ensure you have the latest main branch
+git checkout main
+git pull origin main
+
+# Create a descriptive branch (without version numbers)
+git checkout -b fix/plugin-activation-error
+```
+
+### 2. Make Changes Without Updating Version Numbers
+
+During the development and testing phase:
+- Implement the necessary changes
+- **Don't update version numbers** in any files yet
+- Focus on the functionality
+
+### 3. Build and Deploy Locally
+
+For local testing, use the current version number from the main plugin file:
+
+```bash
+# Get the current version from the plugin file
+CURRENT_VERSION=$(grep -o "Version: [0-9.]*" wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php | cut -d' ' -f2)
+
+# Build and deploy with current version
+./build.sh $CURRENT_VERSION
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Create a build directory
+2. Copy required files to the build directory
+3. Deploy the plugin to your local WordPress testing environment
+
+**Note**: For local testing iterations, you do not need to commit changes, push to remote repositories, or create tags unless specifically requested.
+
+### 4. Test and Evaluate
+
+Test the changes thoroughly in the local environment:
+- Verify that the specific issue is fixed or feature works as expected
+- Check for any regressions or new issues
+- Document the results
+
+### 5. Based on Testing Results
+
+- **If changes need further refinement**: Continue working in the same branch
+- **If changes work as expected**: Proceed to version branch creation
+
+### 6. Creating a Version Branch
+
+When changes are confirmed working and ready for release:
+
+1. Create a version branch with the appropriate version number:
+
+```bash
+# Determine the appropriate version increment (patch, minor, or major)
+# based on the nature of the changes
+git checkout -b v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
+```
+
+2. Now update version numbers in all required files:
+
+- Main plugin file (wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php)
+- CHANGELOG.md (add a new version section)
+- readme.txt
+- README.md
+- languages/wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.pot (Project-Id-Version)
+
+3. Commit the version updates:
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} - [brief description]"
+```
+
+4. Tag the version as stable:
+
+```bash
+git tag -a v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}-stable -m "Stable version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}"
+```
+
+## Remote Testing Workflow
+
+When the user specifically requests remote testing:
+
+### 1. Commit Changes to Remote Repository
+
+If testing a development branch (without version updates):
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "[brief description] for remote testing"
+git push origin [branch-name]
+```
+
+If testing a version branch (with version updates):
+
+```bash
+git add .
+git commit -m "Version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} - [brief description]"
+git push origin v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
+```
+
+### 2. Create and Push Tag (For Version Branches Only)
+
+```bash
+git tag -a v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} -m "Version {MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH} for remote testing"
+git push origin v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}
+```
+
+This will trigger GitHub Actions to build the installable ZIP file.
+
+### 3. Verify Remote Build
+
+Check that the GitHub Actions workflow completed successfully and the ZIP file is available for download.
+
+### 4. Test and Evaluate
+
+Test the remotely built version and document the results.
+
+## Contributing to External Repositories
+
+When working on issues for external repositories (pull/merge requests):
+
+### 1. Clearly Indicate Testing Status
+
+In the PR description and comments, clearly indicate the testing status:
+
+- **Not tested**: "This PR addresses [issue] but has not been tested locally or remotely. It's ready for community/maintainer testing."
+- **Locally tested**: "This PR has been tested in a local WordPress environment and [describe results]."
+- **Remotely tested**: "This PR has been tested with a remote build and [describe results]."
+
+### 2. Provide Testing Instructions
+
+Include clear instructions for maintainers on how to test the changes:
+
+- Steps to reproduce the original issue (if applicable)
+- Steps to verify the fix or feature
+- Any specific environments or configurations needed for testing
+
+### 3. Be Responsive to Feedback
+
+Monitor the PR for feedback from maintainers and be prepared to make additional changes if requested.
+
+## Rollback Procedure
+
+If a change causes issues after release:
+
+### 1. Identify the Last Stable Version
+
+Find the last version that was marked as stable:
+
+```bash
+git tag -l "*-stable"
+```
+
+### 2. Create a New Branch from the Stable Version
+
+```bash
+git checkout v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.{PATCH}-stable
+git checkout -b fix/rollback-based-fix
+```
+
+### 3. Make Necessary Changes
+
+Implement the fix based on the stable version. Don't update version numbers yet.
+
+### 4. Test the Changes
+
+Test thoroughly to ensure the fix resolves the issues.
+
+### 5. When Confirmed Working
+
+Create a version branch with an incremented patch version and update all version numbers as described in the "Creating a Version Branch" section.

+
+To ensure the AI assistant has all the necessary context about your plugin's structure and best practices:
+
+```
+Please add the .ai-assistant.md and .ai-workflows/ directory to your AI IDE chat context. In most AI IDEs, you can pin these files to ensure they're considered in each message. This will help the AI understand the project structure and follow the established best practices.
+```
+
+## Remember
+
+- This template is designed to be a starting point. Feel free to add, remove, or modify components as needed for your specific plugin.
+- The AI assistant can help you understand the existing code and make appropriate modifications, but you should review all changes to ensure they meet your requirements.

+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+    parties under the terms of this License.
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form with such
+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
+  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+                            NO WARRANTY
+
+  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
+    with this program; if not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
+    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
+necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
+
+  <signature of Moe Ghoul>, 1 April 1989
+  Moe Ghoul, President of Vice
+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
+proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
+library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
+Public License instead of this License.

+### Git Updater Integration
+
+This template is designed to work seamlessly with the Git Updater plugin for updates from GitHub and Gitea. To ensure proper integration:
+
+1. **Required Headers**: The plugin includes specific headers in the main plugin file that Git Updater uses to determine update sources and branches:
+   ```php
+   * GitHub Plugin URI: wpallstars/wp-plugin-starter-template-for-ai-coding
+   * GitHub Branch: main
+   * Primary Branch: main
+   * Release Branch: main
+   * Release Asset: true
+   * Gitea Plugin URI: https://gitea.wpallstars.com/wpallstars/wp-plugin-starter-template-for-ai-coding
+   * Gitea Branch: main
+   ```
+
+2. **Tagging Releases**: When creating a new release, always tag it with the 'v' prefix (e.g., `v0.1.2`) to ensure GitHub Actions can create the proper release assets.
+
+3. **GitHub Actions**: The repository includes a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically builds the plugin and creates a release with the .zip file when a new tag is pushed.
+
+4. **Update Source Selection**: The template includes a feature that allows users to choose their preferred update source (WordPress.org, GitHub, or Gitea).
+
+For more information on Git Updater integration, see the [Git Updater Required Headers documentation](https://git-updater.com/knowledge-base/required-headers/).
